XPpro SP2 blocking Testing Server in Dreamweaver MX 2004 ???

[IndigoDragon]

Hi there,

I'm encountering the following problem that some of you must have encountered...

After setting up my new workstation with "XP Pro SP2" and installing "Dreamweaver MX 2004" I found out that there's a problem with the database connectivity. Setting up a connectionstring works just fine; Dreamweaver tells me that the connection has been made succesfully. However, when selecting a connection, no tables can be retrieved from the connection. Also, with my existing connections, in the Application-Databases panel, no tables are shown (to be precise, it says "none").

So I looked around on Macromedia's site and found the following article:

http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/k...mp;stateID=0+0+24015957&mode=simple#aspnet_db

This article recognizes the problem and tells me to install the extension "Windows SP2 DB Connectivity Fix" that should fix the problem. Well, you've guessed: the problem still persists after installing the extension!

Has anyone encountered this before and does anyone have a sollution for this?

Thanx for your replies!!!

Is it something that you can test this workaround on?
